Editorial Reviews

"Philippa Pearson's Small Space Garden Ideas is an archive of perfectly formed ideas for indoor and outdoor garden inspiration. Certainly the sky is the limit for Philippa Pearson and with some imagination and compost, there is no reason why one could not recreate their own private hanging gardens of Babylon." – New York Journal of Books

"Not only is the book packed with smart and inventive ways to make square-foot gardening feel lush and full, but she has plenty of ideas for ways to add colorful repurposed elements that deliver a flea-market-packed punch." – Cottages & Bungalows Magazine

"Keep your hand in the garden all winter with these clearly explained and temptingly photographed DIY projects." – Seattle Times
